ordinary guru

Hello fellow tribe members – seekers of everyday, ordinary, unassuming gurus who come your way. They are everywhere. Here is a perfect example of a guru offered to us by a young lady who is going places in life. I’m a prophet. I can tell. She has the attitude that will have her dance, not stumble her way into a glorious future.

Hi Rob

My dance teacher is my everyday guru. I see her twice a week for sixty minutes each time. She teaches me not only great dance moves but great lessons that my mother says I can apply to my life. On the way home, I take notes on what I’ve learned from her that day. I wanted to apply it to my life. Here is what my dance teacher taught me two days ago about dancing.

She said, when it comes to dancing, the only true friend I have is my body. It will never lie to me. If I treat my body with kindness by taking care of it, and train it well, my body will treat me well at my dance recital. My mother helped me to see how that was a great lesson about life. I believe my true friends in life are my classmates that never lie to me. I think I am also true friends to them because I never lie to them. We treat each other well as we learn to dance together through life. Maybe that’s a stretch, but I wanted to see what you thought about it.

Thank you, Alicia

I love that lesson, Alicia! That is not a stretch – that is absolutely perfect! Your dance teacher certainly is a wonderful unassuming guru, and you are a marvelous translator of the truth that she shared with you. I love what you did with your dance teacher’s insight.

The only reason you want to seek the truth, Alicia is because the truth is always truly powerful. It sets you free to live a happy, exciting life the easy way. The easy way is always the right way. The truth lights the way to the right way.

You have been everyone reading this blog’s guru today, Alicia. You are now a mental millionaire because that is a million dollar tip you offered all of us. Again I thank you.

Blessings, Rob

Hey folks, what might you want to share with the rest of us? What everyday guru has come your way lately? What you give away, you get to keep when it comes to golden truths and inspiring insights. We are all looking forward to hearing from you.

Love and Blessings, Rob

PS – The one thing you possess that no one else will ever have is the unique YOU. Sing and laugh and DANCE today as only you can in your own unique way.

PPS – Have you added your name to the email list yet? You wouldn’t resist something that could be incredibly enriching, would you?

I would like to take this blog-opportunity to address a matter that is on the minds of many: money-matters.

Recently, I was having a conversation with a member of the clergy, and he asked me if I thought religious teachings can be applied to financial conditions.

I asked him to give me a religious teaching that he felt could not be applied to financial conditions.

He came back with this. All religions teach, “To lose one’s life is to find it.” They may teach this truth differently, but all religions agree that man must let go of his angry ways to become peaceful; let go of his greedy ways in order to become honest; let go of his petty habits in order to become whole once again. He then asked me to apply this to making money.

My thoughts were this:

Man must lose his victim mentality in order to find his natural attitude of plenitude. A man who wails, “Poor me” when it comes to money, can only attract lack. If he’s to break the back on that lack-attack, he must let go of the “poor me” role. For it is only from an attitude of plenitude that he will find the answers he seeks to attract the money he desires.

So, in fact – to lose one’s life of poverty is to let go of all of the thought-habits that give energy to impoverishment. Don’t take this lightly. You were born to be rich in all that you set your mind to. But you must let go of the “YOU” that assumes that money is scarce if you are going to prove that you were born to be rich.

Only when you let that “poor me” role go, can you resurrect the truth about you: you are a rich and majestic child of Infinite Intelligence. Trust in that fact and money will come running back.

Your state of mind is everything.

Ask yourself, “What this blog got to do with me?”
Where, in your life, do you feel impoverished?
With your relationships? With your health? With money?

Where, in your life do you play the “poor me” role? In what area of your life do you suffer with lack?

Here’s a quick pick-me-up to get you started:

Understand how the game of riches is played – it’s a game played in the mind. The world is only a mirror of what you think and feel about yourself in relationship to life’s riches.

Look for the perfect opportunity to create a new “ME” when it comes to your attitude about deserving life’s many riches. Do you know when that perfect opportunity is? NOW!

Put your new identity into the game of life: “I am a rich and majestic child of Infinite Intelligence,” and intend to prove it.

I did it. I’ve proven it. There’s nothing special about me that I cannot see easily in you.

Blessings and Love, Rob

PS – We all know deep down that all would be well if we could just get out of our own way. What “ME” are you clinging to that gets in your way? That’s the “ME” that you must lose to be free. Ah, sweet liberty!!

Hello, fellow tribe members who are ever seeking to find another “ordinary, everyday, unassuming guru” passing your way, offering a golden truth or inspiring insight that helps you make your life right. It’s fun isn’t it!

I received this email yesterday. It made my blog writing chore very easy today. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Mr White

Can I share an everyday, ordinary guru story that taught me a great lesson? I learned this lesson at your firewalk seminar over a decade ago, and Steve was the guru. To this day, I am grateful for this lesson.

After we walked the red hot coals, some were asked to stand up and share the experience. Back then I was shy and nervous, so I hoped I wouldn’t be called on to speak. The first guy who stood up, Steve was his name, said that he was afraid to put one step forward after other in life, but he realized that if he was to walk over the red hot coals he was going to have to put one foot forward after the other or he’d burn his feet badly. He started choking up a little bit and said that he did just that, he put one step forward after the other and successfully walked over the red hot cinders without any burns. He then said he was going to use this experience to remind himself that taking one step at a time was what he was going to do with his life for now on. He said he’d been burnt enough by life and it was time to put an end to that.

I never forgot that lesson. I have taken his wise guru advice many times in my own life since then and it has proven to work every time. He was an unassuming guru for me, Mr. White. Oh by the way, I didn’t get called on to tell of my experience. Wow, did I feel lucky.

Thank you for the firewalk experience Mr White, and thank you for the great lesson, Steve.

Blessings to you Mr. White, Kim B

I have nothing to add to that beautiful life-lesson Kim. I absolutely love that you shared it with all of us, and even more wonderful is that you have been carrying it with you for the past decade and calling upon it when you needed to. Furthermore, by sharing this great lesson, and pointing out that Steve was your unassuming guru, you have now stood up and shared even if it is some ten years later. CONGRATULATIONS!

Hey guys, don’t forget to ask: “What this got to do with me?” What are you going to do with all this power you are getting from the wonderful life-lessons we share on this blog site? Let yourself be both inspired and renewed whenever you glean something new from these blogs. Do it for you!

Blessings & Love, Rob

PS – We give of our knowledge that humanity may live, for to withhold is to watch humanity perish. Dare to share! What might you like to say? Have you signed up on my email list? Keep the emails coming my way.

Hi fellow “ordinary, everyday, unassuming guru seekers.” I love what’s happening here at this shared blog site. There’s a great energy growing. Can you feel it? Stick with it. Your life will show it.

I received this email inquiry a couple of weeks ago, and it felt right, today, to respond to it.

Hey Rob

Maybe we’re starting something you weren’t expecting, but I was wondering if you’d be my unassuming guru and answer a question I have? I like your answers because they go deeper than the usual motivational answers that I find are missing something.

Here’s my question. I don’t take chances if I don’t have a full strategy to get from where I am to where I want to go. The problem is that I find that I end being stuck right where I am because I never trust I have enough information to guarantee that I will succeed. What am I missing here?

Any advice will help. Thank you, Morris B.

Well, well, well, Morris,

Can I ask you a question? Do you have a driver’s license? Do you drive in the dark? If you are traveling five miles at nighttime have you noticed that your headlights only light up the first 100 yards in front of you, and when you’ve traveled that 100 yards, it lights up the next 100 yards? And if you trust that the headlights will continue to light up the next and the next and the next 100 yards in front of you, before you know it you are at your five mile destination. Isn’t that right?

Now let’s look at life with the above lesson in mind. Morris finds a piece of a map that guarantees to get him to a hidden paradise village. The problem is that most of the map is missing. But, Morris trusts life. Morris also trusts himself to find answers when they are needed. Morris also trusts that he wouldn’t have found that one section of the map if he wasn’t meant to take the adventure and travel to that hidden paradise village.

And so, off Morris goes, taking the first part of the trip, which is the only part of the trip that’s on the torn map. When Morris finds himself at the end of what the map offers, he sees an elder gentleman walking along the road, and asks him if he knows of a hidden paradise village anywhere around there. The gentleman says that he knows you have to take a left at the next intersection and travel several miles, but that’s all he knows. Morris takes the gentleman’s advice, and after traveling several miles he comes upon a woman selling vegetables at a wayside stand. He stops and asks her if she knows anything about the whereabouts of this hidden village. This woman tells him that she knows it is located up on yonder hill somewhere but she’s not sure where.

Morris journeys up on yonder hill and begins looking about for the village paradise. He hears sweet music and laughter in the distance. His intuition tells him to follow the sound of the music and laughter, and sure enough – Morris finds himself at the hidden paradise village.

What’s the lesson here, Morris?

take one step at a time

trust

remain aware for further instructions from ordinary gurus or from life itself

keep going, and you will find what you’re looking for.

I hope this helped you, Morris. I hope it helps a few others of you who are looking for answers. Life is a grand adventure because life never gives you all of the answers up front. How boring would that be?

By the way folks, are you on my email list? I hope so. I will be sending out enlightening excerpts from my latest book to those who are; excerpts that I will not be sharing on this blog site.

Blessings and Love to all of you, Rob

PS – Indeed, for those who are committed to taking the adventurous journey (not the boring journey), through life, they must knock and wait at many blessed gates. The gates will open, and on the other side of the thresholds there will be light to guide them to their destination of delight.

Hey fellow “ordinary, everyday guru seekers,” I love the topic of the day. I hope you enjoy it too. Thank you, Joanne, for daring to ask this important question. I received this email yesterday.

Dear Mr. White

You write that every one of us is a rich and majestic child of Infinite Intelligence. I don’t feel like I am. In fact I feel inferior a lot of the time. Will you be an ordinary guru and give me a tip on how to feel that I am a majestic child of the Infinite.

Thank you, Joanne K

Hello Joanne,

Might I tell you a story?

——

Joanne was a simple woman who owned a vintage junk jewelry store. The sign on the store actually said: VINTAGE JUNK JEWELRY FOR SALE.

Joanne wasn’t trying to pull the wool over anyone’s eyes about what she was selling. She was honest and delighted when someone came in to buy something. She made a very modest living.

One day a friend was sifting through Joanne’s inventory of junk jewelry, and let out with a loud gasp – WOW! She picked up what Joanne thought was a fake diamond tennis bracelet, and said, “I don’t think this is fake.”

Joanne took the bracelet across the street to the local jeweler, and learned that it was a real diamond tennis bracelet worth over $15,000.

This discovery aroused Joanne’s curiosity. She began paying more attention to the jewelry she bought for resale. This one experience changed her whole life. Her income has tripled because she now knows the difference between junk jewelry and jewelry of value, and she prices her inventory accordingly.

——

So what has the above story got to do with you, Joanne? Does it not have everything to do with you (and with everyone else, for that matter). When you are willing to look deeper into yourself with sincere curiosity, you will find incredible value in many hidden talents and inner strengths that you are right now, unaware of.

How do you look inside? Dare to set the bar higher for your standard of living. Take more chances. Try new things. In doing that, you will delightfully discover that there is so much more to you than you ever realized. And as you take more interest in finding these qualities within you – you will soon come to realize that you are a rich and majestic child of Infinite Intelligence.

Trust life, Joanne. Life is here to support you with this discovery. Thank you so much for bringing this up.

Blessings, Rob

PS – I hope all of you are asking, “What does this have to do with me?” If you want to experience riches in all areas of your life – be it with relationships, with money, with incredible health, it is imperative that you recognize how rich you are on the inside.

PPS – Too vast are you with hidden talents, too imponderable for anyone to understand your many inner qualities and strengths. Pay no mind to anyone who tells you differently.

Hello fellow “ordinary, everyday, unassuming guru seekers” I love the energy of this tribe. In seeking, your life is exalted. In seeking, success is justified; the daylight is no longer asleep in your eyes.

I received this email a month ago, and wanted to get back to Jason and thank him for his patience.

Hi Rob,

Will you be my ordinary guru and answer this question? I hear the statement “Let go” a lot in spiritual circles. Yet, I am never clear what it is I am supposed to let go of in order to be free. And what is it that I will be free of? Jason

Hi Jason

Great inquiry.

“Letting go” is not only a spiritual matter; it is something anyone who wants to have a breakthrough to a new life must do.

When you are “letting go” you are surrendering up your identity. That means that you are willing to “let go” of the programming in your mind that stops you from starting your own business or attracting the perfect mate or making your first million or even getting that first date. If something is stopping you from living your ideal, you must let it go before your life will flow in the direction of that aspiration.

Yes, “letting go” is a term often spoken often in spiritual circles, and what it frees you up to do is to “create yourself anew.” That means you get to consciously decide the kind of person that you want to be, and work with affirmations and visions and discipline your new behavior to make the new you real.

The reason it’s not easy to let go is because your ego will scream, “NO.”

Your ego wants you to be who you’ve always been. The problem with being who you’ve always been is that you can only do what you’ve always done and consequently, you can only get what you always got. Can you see the dilemma? You gotta “let go” if your life is to flow in the direction your dreams go.

Actually, when someone has a deep conviction to let go of old habits that have been stopping them from achieving their goals, they don’t do the “letting go”- the old habits let go of them. They commit to thinking differently and acting differently, and the old habits fall away. That’s because they begin vibrating differently (Really!), and the old habits cannot feed on the new energy, so they leave.

I remember when I committed to stop insisting I was always right. I affirmed a thousand times a day that everyone had the right to their opinion. I visualized my self being open and calm with others disagreeing with me. I disciplined myself to shut my mouth when I had the urge to disagree with someone’s philosophy. Wow, what sweet relief when within thirty days, that “insisting I am right habit” had run away from me.

It is said that we are shadows of ourselves.

To be a shadow of yourself mean that every time you decide to create yourself anew (new habits, new ideals, new beliefs that can make our dreams real), you are coming closer to our authentic nature – the real substance of you (not the shadow self). And that real substance is unstoppable!

I hope this helps you with your inquiry, Jason.

——

Are the rest of you asking, “What’s this got to do with me?” I hope so. It has everything to do with whether you live victoriously or frustratingly. “Letting go” of the old you has you constantly grow. I couldn’t have written an Amazon best seller book at age seventy if I did not let go of the idea that I was too old to do that. How foolish of me to ever think I am too old to achieve any of my lofty dreams. I dropped that “too old” identity, and best seller book author became my reality.

Blessings and love to all of you, Rob

PS – Oh glorious so wondrous is this child of the infinite! Are you not a rich and majestic child of Infinite Intelligence. I HOPE YOU KNOW THAT! It’s time to show that – LET GO!
